In addition I use india ink on whatever sort of paper is around, usually newpaper or wrapping paper from the showroom, to figure out the brushwork.I tend to stylize anything I paint and get a few brushstrokes figured out and off I go. It was a good step and can't wait to do more. I'm off to finish the new workshop, but meanwhile maybe I'll do some ink work in the evenings at home.Michael Klinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10577525633756972853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1908458576513257686.post-54149523461780715852008-03-24T09:16:00.000-04:002008-03-24T09:16:00.000-04:00These are nice Michael.
